TikiWiki jhot.php Arbitrary File Upload

high Nessus Plugin ID 22303

Language:

Synopsis

The remote web server contains a PHP script that allows uploading of arbitrary files.

Description

The 'jhot.php' script included with the version of TikiWiki installed on the remote host allows an unauthenticated attacker to upload arbitrary files to a known directory within the web server's document root. Provided PHP's 'file_uploads' setting is enabled, which is true by default, this flaw can be exploited to execute arbitrary code on the affected host, subject to the privileges of the web server user id.

Solution

Either remove the affected 'jhot.php' script or upgrade to TikiWiki 1.9.5 or later.
